A Voice from A Local Guide
Over Tourism… this is the word we are facing and struggling with even in mountains where were the place for releasing and healing.
More & more tourists visit Hokkaido questing for powder snow and mobile by themselves getting info from SNS etc. Even small mountains where only locals know are known by inbound skiers/snowboarders & foreign guides through SNSs, and it is difficult to find quiet places anymore. Parking is full, so we need to rush to get a spot like a race. BC Skiers & Snowboarders park on sideroad without caring snow plow and the community people. Garbage problems…cigarette buts, pet-bottles, banana skins, pee & poops and so on and on… and more accidents, more illegal guides, non certified guides. Our Ski Mountains where used to be peaceful is now getting a chaos.
Even though under this reality, we, our local BC guides welcome all clients and try our bests to find nice spots.
In order to minimize the impacts of overtourism, I guide for a small group and try to avoid crowdness.
Please support local business and protect local environment.
